  Well if you really need a quality DirectX 10.0 graphic card and cost is 
not much of an object then you can get a PNY FX 4600 with 768MB on board. 
It's a graphic workstation card that the game programmers use to make those 
very same high end OpenGL and DirectX 10 games on that you guys play. It can 
display it on two separate screens without any hiccups what so ever. No 
strange noises either. There kind of pricey though at around $1,500.00 but 
two Nvidia 8800 in SLI set up will cost the same and as you guys claim "make 
strange noises". The FX 4600 is SLI ready to if one really needs to whip ass 
way faster than the human eye can see. The only way after using these card 
one can get better is using dual or quad CPU motherboards, not just dual on 
chip processors on a single CPU motherboard.
